Geological meditation is an interactive practice that I am developing every year with natural objects, vegetables, ancient, modern, futuristic contexts, and artworks to open up as collective meditation. Aim to activate new relations between individuals and our environment and understand and feel sympathy with other lives and phenomena by getting closer to the ecosystem and coexistence by training our imagination in more dynamic, sympathetic ways as decolonizing practice and resisting strategy against the speed of techno capital influence.

It is an environment where various ecological and critical layers coexist to evoke performative and meditative practice to stimulate envisioning deep interrelation between the natural world and human beings.

The provided natural objects, fictional stories, images, drawings, and sounds offer multiple trajectories and emotional stories that can work in a dynamic way to stimulate and share the participant’s imagination. And, guiding collaboratively each other to see beyond the natural objects: embodying and imagining from their actual networks, colonial history, micro and macro level of their emotions, migration, ref-uges, and until planetary condition in this Capitalocene era. It is a prac-tice for collective imagination and overcoming our educated perspective by treating non-human beings in a respectful and conscious ways.
